'Inquirer' Will Introduce 'Radio-Style' Programming Online

A move in the right direction, but notice that the newspaper still wants to schedule when the interactions between reporters and viewer/users take place. "It's about me" -- don't they get this yet? The radio scheduling is like 15 years too late. "It's about me" viewer/users want to interact when they choose. We just don't live in a pre-scheduled, news at the top of the hour kind of environment these days.
